Finally, the most elaborate compari-
sons Of meteorological records made IN
France and England (where the Green

Standing on the Head.
Christian Nef0hbor.

When persons stand on the head, up
is down and down is up; and front is
back and back is front: So stand the
opponents of Sadi-Carnot in France.
See what all exchange prints:
Sadi-Carnot, the new president OF
France, is said to be a weak man be-
cause he is opposed to any and all
complications likely to involve his
country in q war with Germany. II
this be the, fact, France is to be con-
graduated. No nation in Europe is
in less need of war or in greater
need of a wise, honest, economical,
peaceful home government.-Er.
This reminds one Ii. e. one who
reads the Bible] of certain "weak
man" of whom we read in Eco. tx,
3-1s: "This wisdom have I seen also
under the sun, and it seemed great
unto me: There was little city, and
few men within it; and there came a
great king against it, and beseiged it,
and built great bulwarks against it:
Now there was found in it poor wise
man, and he by his wisdom delivered
the city; yet no man remembered that
same poor man. Then said I, Wis
dom is better than strength: neverthe-
less the poor mans wisdom is despised,
and his words are not heard. The
words of wise men are heard in quiet
more than the cry of him that ruleth
among fools. Wisdom is better than
weapons of war: but one sinner de-
stroyeth much good"
And the foregoing only reminds a
body of the windy patriots war
riors-who swore out, creased out, and
kept out of the late war to save their
own worthless carcasses from merited
death (-North and South and eter-
nal oblivion. The late war alone
would justify the preparation of hell
for the Devil and his [war] angels.
We mean the wicked and ambitious
men North and South) who made the
war and then sent better men to fight
it out.
